Thank you for attending the 13th IMR!

Invited speaker presentations

Please join us for the 13th International Meshing Roundtable!
September 19-22, 2004
(This conference is open to the public.)

In 1992, Sandia National Laboratories started the Meshing Roundtable as a small meeting of like-minded companies and organizations striving to establish a common focus for research and development in the field of mesh and grid generation. Sandia National Laboratories continues to organize the International Meshing Roundtable, which has become recognized as an international focal point annually attended by researchers and developers from dozens of countries around the world. The relaxed atmosphere at each Roundtable provides an open and technically rich
environment in which to share new ideas and technical advances.

The International Meshing Roundtable continues to focus on bringing together researchers and developers from academia, national labs and industry in a stimulating, open environment to share technical information related to mesh generation and general pre-processing techniques. This year's Roundtable will be held in Willamsburg, Virgina, USA. From 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was the political, social and cultural capital to Britain's largest, wealthiest and most populous colony. In its shops, taverns, government buldings, homes and streets George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, George Mason and other Virgina patriots debated the ideas - liberty, independence and personal freedom - that led to the founding of American democracy. Visitors to Colonial Williamsburg will step back in time and gain a renewed appreciation for the events that led to the American Revolution. The conference hotel is within walking distance of the Historic Area.

EVENTS at this year's roundtable include:

• Pre-conference short courses on Sunday, September 19, 2004
• Technical presentations of contributed papers

• Poster session with Best Technical Poster, Best Student Poster, and Meshing Maestro awards. We encourage submission of posters presenting novel research results as well as posters showcasing state-of-the-art technology by industry developers and meshing software vendors
